Design and Testing of a "Pulsatile Flow" Shunt

     
    Dr. Sandeep Sood’s pioneering work in CSF mechanics has led to a unique patent for a new shunt valve that takes into consideration the to-and-fro (pulsatile) flow of CSF that occurs with each heart beat. Now that the patent has been approved, we will be working to build several prototypes that can be tested before manufacturing the valve for commercial use.
